DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Western Area Power Administration 

Eastern Plains Transmission Project, 

Colorado and Kansas 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of public meetings and 

additional opportunity for public review 

and comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE), Western Area Power 

Administration (Western) issued a 

notice of intent (NOI) to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

on August 2, 2006, for the Eastern Plains 

Transmission Project (EPTP or 

Transmission Project). This notice 

announces additional public meetings 

to provide the public opportunity to 

review and comment on additional 

transmission line routes and revised 

routes; the scope of the EIS; and review 

comments previously received during 

the scoping meetings held in August 

and September 2006. 

Western is proposing to participate 

with Tri-State Generation and 

Transmission Association, Incorporated 

(Tri-State) in the construction of the 

EPTP. Western’s participation would be 

in exchange for 275 megawatts (MW) of 

capacity rights on the proposed 

transmission lines. The EIS will address 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
2508 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 12 / Friday, January 19, 2007 / Notices 

the construction, operation, and 

maintenance of approximately 1,000 

miles of high-voltage transmission lines 

and ancillary facilities, which include 

substations, fiber optic installation, 

access roads, and construction staging 

areas. The EIS will discuss alternatives 

such as Western’s system alternatives 

and the no action alternative (no Federal 

action). The EIS will analyze and 

present environmental impacts 

compared to the existing baseline 

condition in which no Transmission 

Project facilities exist. The EIS also will 

include analyses of the environmental 

impacts of Tri-State’s proposed 

generation projects, and other past, 

present, and reasonably foreseeable 

projects in the EPTP area. The EIS will 

be prepared in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and DOE NEPA Implementing 

Procedures. 

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section for meeting dates and locations. 

The comment period will close March 9, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments, 

questions, and information on the scope 

of the EIS may be mailed, faxed, or emailed to Mr. Jim Hartman, 

Environmental Manager, Western Area 

Power Administration, Rocky Mountain 

Region, P.O. Box 3700, Loveland, CO 

80539; fax (970) 461–7213; or e-mail 

eptp@wapa.gov. For persons wishing to 

leave voice messages, the toll-free 

number is (888) 826–4710. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information or to request copies 

of the EIS, contact Mr. Hartman at the 

addresses provided or telephone the 

Transmission Project hotline toll-free at 

(888) 826–4710. For general information 

on DOE’s NEPA review procedures or 

the status of a NEPA review, contact Ms. 

Carol M. Borgstrom, Director, Office of 

NEPA Policy and Compliance (GC–20), 

U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585–0119; telephone 

(202) 586–4600 or (800) 472–2756; or 

fax (202) 586–7031. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Need for Agency 

Action 

Western, a power marketing 

administration within DOE, markets 

Federal hydroelectric power to 

preference customers, as specified by 

law. They include municipalities, 

cooperatives, public utility and 

irrigation districts, Federal and State 

agencies, and Native American Tribes in 

15 western States, including Colorado 

and Kansas. Western’s proposal is to 

participate with Tri-State in the 

construction of the Transmission Project 

in exchange for approximately 275 MW 

of capacity rights on the proposed 

transmission lines. Tri-State is a 

wholesale electric power supplier, 

owned by the 44 electric cooperatives it 

serves. Tri-State and the member 

utilities serve customers throughout 

Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and 

Wyoming. Tri-State’s Board of Directors 

approved a Resource Development Plan 

that includes the Transmission Project. 

Western needs to provide more 

economical, reliable, diverse, and 

flexible power delivery to its customers 

by expanding the capability and 

geographic reach of Western’s existing 

transmission system. The Transmission 

Project would provide Western’s 

customers with more economical 

service by allowing customers to 

purchase transmission service directly 

from Western rather than through other 

companies’ transmission lines. Also, 

during low water times, the 

Transmission Project would provide 

Western increased access to other 

options for satisfying Western’s Federal 

hydropower contractual allocations. In 

addition, the Transmission Project 

would provide a direct interconnection 

at the Midway Substation which would 

facilitate power transfer between two of 

Western’s Federal projects, the Colorado 

River Storage Project and the Loveland 

Area Projects. Enhancing and expanding 

transmission pathways also would 

contribute to ensuring reliability of the 

Federal transmission system. 

Proposed Action and Alternatives 

Western is preparing the EIS on its 

proposal to participate with Tri-State in 

the construction of the Transmission 

Project. Western’s proposed activities 

include construction planning and 

management for approximately 1,000 

miles of high-voltage transmission lines, 

and acquiring rights-of-way for 

transmission lines, access roads, and 

communication facilities. In addition to 

the transmission lines, access roads, and 

construction staging areas, the EIS will 

address environmental effects of four 

new substations; expansions of 

approximately eight existing 

substations; and installing a fiber optic 

communications system for control of 

the transmission lines. 

Western issued a notice of intent 

(NOI) to prepare an EIS for the 

Transmission Project, on August 2, 

2006, (71 FR 43733) which included 

dates, times, and locations of public 

scoping meetings, and opportunities 

available for the public to comment. 

Since the NOI was published, 10 public 

scoping meetings were conducted 

between August 28 and September 14, 

2006, throughout eastern Colorado and 

western Kansas. This notice announces 

additional public meetings in February 

2007 to provide the public opportunity 

to review and comment on additional 

transmission line routes and revised 

routes; the scope of the EIS; and review 

comments previously received during 

the scoping meetings held in August 

and September 2006. 

Alternative Transmission Line Routes 

During the August and September 

2006 scoping meetings, Western 

presented preliminary locations of 

transmission line corridors and new 

substations. As a result of comments 

received, Western gathered additional 

data, made several route refinements, 

added additional routes, and considered 

alternatives, all of which will be made 

available to the public at the February 

2007, meetings. At the February 

meetings, Western seeks comments on 

the alternative routes. In the draft EIS, 

Western will consider those additional 

comments in its analysis of the 

alternative routes. 

Western will address other 

alternatives in the EIS, including the no 

action alternative. Under the no action 

alternative, Western would not 

participate with Tri-State in the 

construction of the Transmission 

Project. The EIS will also evaluate the 

environmental effects of all the 

alternatives and compare them to the 

existing baseline condition, in which no 

Transmission Project facilities are 

present. Alternative transmission line 

routes and substation locations will be 

refined as part of the EIS public process 

and addressed in the EIS. Western will 

consider additional reasonable 

alternatives that are technically and 

economically viable and that would 

meet Western’s purpose and need. 

Impacts Associated With Tri-State’s 

Generation Projects 

Tri-State, in its Resource 

Development Plan, proposes to develop 

a two-unit expansion of a coal-based 

power plant in Holcomb, Kansas, and is 

planning an additional generation 

project in southeastern Colorado 

(referred to as Tri-State’s Colorado 

Power Project). Western is not a 

participant in, is not involved in, and 

does not have control over Tri-State’s 

generation projects. The EIS will 

evaluate the environmental impacts of 

Tri-State’s generation projects as well as 

other past, present, and reasonably 

foreseeable projects.
